I slice it and then cook it in a frying pan (no oil). I usually serve it with chilli-steeped olive oil and lemon. I'm a big fan of the squeaky cheese! It's so expensive in the US though - $11.99 in my local Whole Foods. In the UK I used to pay about £3 for a block!

Grilling is great; you can also pan-fry or sear it. You didn't mention whether or not you want to season/marinate it, or what else you're planning to have for dinner. There are so many ways you can go with halloumi...

I'm sorry you've been under the weather :( Feel better! When you're ready to enjoy the halloumi, I have a few suggestions:- Marinate the halloumi and chunks of onion, zucchini and peppers in a mixture of olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic & freshly squeezed lemon juice in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 30 - 60 minutes. Shake off excess marinade, and slice the halloumi into cubes, thread onto skewers and grill. Serve with grilled chicken or salmon.- Marinate in olive oil with chile flakes or sliced fresh chiles & garlic for 30 minutes. Dice halloumi and butternut squash (use approximately a 3:1 ratio of squash to cheese), and pan-fry in olive oil until squash is softened. Toss with cider vinaigrette and fresh torn basil, parsley or mint. - Brush halloumi, eggplant slices and portobello mushroom caps with harissa. Grill until cheese & mushrooms are firm & eggplant has softened, and stack together with roasted red peppers and fresh arugula or spinach leaves.- Grill halloumi until firm, cut into cubes, and toss with watermelon chunks, lemon vinaigrette & fresh mint.- Marinate in olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic & freshly squeezed lime juice. Cube, thread onto skewers with shrimp marinated in the same mixture, and grill. Serve with salad, sautéed spinach or other vegetables.- Marinate any way you like, grill, and dice. Toss with quinoa or couscous & vegetables.

So I finally got around to cooking the halloumi!! Between bronchitis, a cold, stomach virus, and a trip to the er, it's been a busy few weeks :(

Anyway, I made a marinade (in the blender) with lemon, parsley, garlic, olive oil, black pepper. Skipped the salt b/c I figured the cheese might be very salty. Used cubes of halloumi, zucchini, grape tomatoes, and chunks of mushrooms. Skewered them, and like a genius, realized the skewers would not fit in the pan. Broiled them-- delicious!!!!! My 2 yo ate two skewers!

I often do a version of this but using smoked paprika instead of chilli powder and shallow frying in only a little oil.

I fried halloumi love it as part of a salad, with asparagus (there is a delia smith recipe which pairs it with caper and lime dressing which goes so well with the halloumi) and this weekend we had it to top a lemon and fennel bruschetta.

Fry it in olive oil and sprinkle with parsley and a little chilli - or lemon & mint

A standard offering in any Cypriot mezze meal (often served with lountza, which is pretty much impossible to get other than on the island - if you can find a smoked pork fillet in your part of the world, that would substitute)
